Cristiano Ronaldo pays 18'8 million to the Treasury and accepts two years in prison

Cristiano Ronaldo has chosen to solve his problems with the Spanish Tax Agency. He has agreed to pay 18.8 million euros and accepts two years in prison. It has also recognized four fiscal crimes. In this way, the treasury has reduced the fraud attributed to it: from 14.7 million to 5'7. The rest, up to 19 million euros, will be paid as fines and interest.

Now, after this agreement, Cristiano Ronaldo draws all his problems with the Treasury both by criminal and administrative channels. It is only necessary that the new director of the Spanish Tax Agency will sign the agreement and leave the Portuguese, just on the day that his selection debuts in the World Cup against Spain, without any charge or problem with respect to their accounts or their crimes committed in fiscal matters.
